I made a quick video to show you what is the difference in altitude measurement with kstars/ekos and other program like cgps, xgps, ...
I hope this will help to understand my astonishment mostly if you are telling me that altitude is getting from the same source.

I precise that I'm using a gps module on my remote raspberry pi and for the video my rapsberry was outdoor.

For the device update, I think this append when gps is not fix already. I will made more test this evening.

I'm flying from bug to bug. Maybe it's time to open official bug reports
1. If altitude is read in the nmea line why altitude in indi gpsd driver is different from command line gps tool (at the same time)
2. 2 updates of gpsnmea later, the driver is still crashing. I think it's more than a build issue.
3. This is really weird. My mount is a Celestron CG5 and support time and location but GPS sync only Kstars, not my mount. This is the case only when I sync PC to device.
4. And the new one : when sync my CG5, the longitude is set to 0.0000E. Maybe, my mount doesn't like the 0 - 360° format of indi for longitude. Latitude and time are fine.

And new and last one. Using a GPS, a computer and my CG5 mount (NexStar driver) :
- Case 1, you sync device to computer then GPS will sync location and time in kstars but not for the mount
- Case 2, you sync computer to device then computer will sync location and time of the mount but this is not the GPS time and location

- object management in kstars (asteroid, comet)
- how to retrieve an object
- how to add a missing object (I tried with asteroid 2012 TC4 and unfortunately failed)
- how to interact with object, observation, log

Qhy5 is noisy and there is no shutter. I have to write some python code to remove some fake stars in the sky
Let's say this is a first version of the allsky. The plan at the beginning was to draw and 3d print the enclosure . Not enough time to complete the entire project.

Are you using the meteostation stuff. I saw a lot of activity in the github repo? Lot of improvement ?

The problem with video is they are quickly outdated because software evolved. If you take a look at Jasem YouTube Channel, you can see a lot of change in ekos between the first and the last video.
What about official documentation? Maybe it's a good idea to make short video tutorial and make a review of the doc in the same time?

Thank you, it was a lot of work and hopefully some piece of the project were already done.

We'll see at the end of october if everything works as planned. I forgot to say that raspberry is in readonly mode to avoid corrupted data in case of electric failure. I can access to the allsky via ssh to change python code and also to upload sketch in arduino with command line.

The external DHT22 is the side of the allsky and after taking a shower , humidity sensor was saturated for a long time. So I'm using the hack of the year found in my garbage : a plastic bottle cap, some glue. Just have to cut, one side of the cap to let air passing throuh.
